书籍简介

《蝇王》作者戈尔丁dian峰之作，荣获1980年布克奖、1983年诺贝尔文学奖，西方评论家眼中伟大的“寓言编撰家”，深刻探讨人性中的“恶之花”，无情挑破人类的道德遮羞布。“善”攀上奥林匹亚的峭壁，步履维艰；“恶”也一路蹀躞，走向地狱的魔殿！

在一艘从英国经赤道驶向新西兰的民用战舰上。船上乘客组成一个有代表性的小社会，诸如威权的船长、善感的牧师、势利的绅士、自由派画家，以及荡妇、孕妇、酒鬼等，在足以引发忧郁症的航程中上演人间戏剧。

埃德蒙•塔尔伯特，以撰写航海日志的方式讲述见闻。他是年轻的上流绅士，受过良好教育；此行去殖民地任职，受到其一位位高权重的爵爷的关照。船长安德森是后甲板“禁地”的暴君，作威作福，塔尔伯特向船长点明这层关系，后者有所忌惮，顿时收敛了威风。船长安德森厌恶牧师，以诡诈的手段虐待罗伯特•詹姆斯•科利，致使后者蒙羞而死。

在这幅色调灰暗的“世态画”中，上演了一则人性中无法回避的“道德寓言”：“恶”如何在“善”的妥协与默认下施行；人如何具有毁灭他人和自我的本能。

Introduced by Annie Proulx, lose yourself in an epic naval journey in this Booker Prize-winning historical novel: the first in the acclaimed Sea Trilogy by the author of Lord of the Flies.

I grow a little crazy, I think, like all men at sea who live too close to each other and too close thereby to all that is monstrous under the sun and moon . . .

Edmund Talbot is sailing to Australia in the early nineteenth century. In his journal, he records mounting tensions aboard the ancient, stinking warship, as officers, sailors, soldiers and emigrants jostle in the cramped darkness below decks. But when something happens to Reverend Colley that brings him into a 'hell of self-degradation', it seems that shame is a force deadlier than the sea itself . . .

作者简介

威廉·戈尔丁（William Golding）是一位英国小说家，诗人，1983年诺贝尔文学奖获得者。他的小说富含寓意，广泛地融入了古典文学，神话，宗教文化以及象征主义。其作品主题一般是与黑暗邪恶有关，但他的小说中也表达一种昏暗的乐观主义。他的第yi本小说《蝇王》（1954年）突出了他一直不停探讨的主题：人类天生的野蛮与文明的理性的斗争。这部小说也奠定了戈尔丁的世界声誉。

William Golding (1911 - 1993) was born in Cornwall and educated at Marlborough Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford. Before becoming a writer, he was an actor, small-boat sailor, musician and schoolteacher. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and took part in the D-Day operation and liberation of Holland. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was rejected by several publishers but rescued from the 'reject pile' at Faber and published in 1954. It became a modern classic selling millions of copies, translated into 44 languages and made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, a play and two essay collections. He won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993.
